I haven’t installed mine yet, but when I do I plan to use a shower = curtain rod to provide the “weight.” Just brace against opposite = side of fuselage, and turn until you reach the desired tension. As Bryan = suggested, place whatever you want between the end of the rod and the window (foam-backed = wood sounds like a good idea) to protect the window while the Hysol = cures.
